Suffolk Golf Course
Suffolk, VA · 9.7 mi away
Suffolk Golf Course is a public 18-hole layout in Suffolk, Virginia, whose original nine opened in 1952 to a design by Dick Wilson, with Russell Breeden also credited on the early routing. The back nine plays along Lake Kilby, with tree-lined corridors, elevation change and doglegs that make the course play longer than its yardage suggests. Greens were rebuilt in 2013 by architect Lester George, who restored Dick Wilson's original green contours and converted the surfaces to Champion Bermuda grass. The course is open daily to the public, offers beginner-friendly forward tees, and hosts group outings ranging from small groups to full-field tournaments.
